ABOUT BLUE MAYA HAND BAG DESIGNS
by Nancy Alexander
Each Blue Maya bag is unique and made from a variety of antique ephemera and custom fine art papers. The design is inpired by the background paper and the collaged art work. A variety of natural fabrics are used for the lining in each bag. The trims are individually designed to match the overall theme and color.
How they're made...
The bags are made of two pieces of clear vinyl with a background of beautiful fine art paper. The cut and collaged design is laid upon the paper and then appliqued into place betwen the vinyl. All the trim is hand picked to accent the design, as is the interior lining of the bags which are composed of natural fabrics.
The beauty and delicacy of the bags, however, can be found in the details! Nancy pulls the design together by hand sewing the outline of the flowers, or the butterflies, or whichever elements catch her artistic eye.
